It was expected when Senstor Mc- luean addressed the general assembly of Connecticut that he would say momething of more than state-wide umportance—something witich would command the attention of the press of the nation—and he has. He is one of the great public speakers of the gountry and will long continye to be. Me talks history together with geod sense and those who have read his address have Deem agreeably °im- pressed by this little word picture of himeelf in his new position: “Heretofore, 1 have . been in the streat, looking into the wia- dows; now that 1 find myself inslde the shop with ninety-one other modistes, and ninety millions of cus- tomers to please, curiosity changes te responmibiiity.

The Bulletin wishes for Senator MelLean, “inside the shep,” a famous aareer. BUSINESS POSTMASTERS. The Business manager of the New York World belleves TUncle Sam's postoffice department should be a buse inese affalr. instead of political, from begimning to end. Fle doesn't favor an inerease of postage anywhere, but is impressed the busimess can be greatly fneceased if postmasters would jeud all their energies to increasing business instead of logking after peliti- oal fences and shining up their own political prospects. He recommends that the postoffice department set out to ‘get more business, initead of | adopting wmethods of driving it away. “It uld first,” he says, “abolish the censorfous barriers that it has raised againet the various grades of second- class matter and welcome all that it can get. It should establish the par- <els post aleng the lines employed in Europe and Japan. It should trans- form its postmesters into business- geotters who would hunt for trade in- stead of for votes for a political party, It should encourage and support newspaper and magazine circulation, vs the postoMce department in Ger- | mady does, by acting as a dealer in Business Manager Seitz peints out that the cheaper rate for drop letters in Canadian ofties, the lower rate for periodicals In Canada and the profit inade om thé postal business in that sparsely settled country afford proot | that postal rates on seme classes of maiter m this country are too high and that ineficiency of management is responefble for the defloit in Amer- | ican postal revenues. i Postmaster General Hitdhcock seems to be succcedimg admirably wheae ofhers have falled, but his lim- ited power ures to get I“roms What retiring President Tracy #aid apout what Norwich has suffered from Vielatfan of oMty ordinances, it would have paid Norwich to haveé had a tem thousand dollar manager many years ago. @ handicap, as his fail- recommendations show The commissioner of agriculture of New York state has received 10,000 detters from far-western farmers, in- quiring what the prospects were thero for securing good farms. of nerve and a sizeable mortgage Ras helped many a man to get the automebile he wanted, the mortgage wouldn’'t work long for repalrs.

Chase Osborn, governor of Michigan, has told the legislature that the initiative, referendum and recall are what the people want and what they need and what they should have. And Foss of Massachusetts and Johmson of Cali- fornia have said the same thing. Gov- ernor Deneen of Iilinois stands by the republican platform, which calls for the initiative and referendum. Gov- ernor Marshall of Indiana has come out for the referendum. There is something mere than mu- in the air, for through political evolution the country appears to be on the verge of a popular revolution in the interest of more popular gov- ernment, NOT A CANDIDATE. The withdrawal of County Commis- sioner B. F. Williams of Mystic from the campaign for re-election leaves an open door for two mew commissioners, since Mr. Chadwick does not care.to succeed himself. Commissioner Williams has many strong friends who regret his with- drawal, and they make bold to say that his services have been satisfactory to the people in the southeastern sec- tion of New London county. The Westerly Sun has this to say| concerning his retirement: Mr. Williams has his enemies in the town of Stonington. That is the na ural thing. Any man who is in public life and has done things malkes enemies. Al will not agree with him, and if he is “so good” that he agrees with ev- erybody and evervthing that comes along, he does nothing, he is passive, he is good for nothing. Perhaps the reason that Mr. Williams has his ene- mies in the neighboring towns as well as in other sections of the county is that he has done things. There is only one matter that he has beén mixed up in, in the town of Stonington, that has concerned the whole people. That was the granting of licenses for the town of Stonington. In that work there is not a word of criticism, ex- cept from those who are interested in the liguor traffic or do not care what happens or where the saloons were placed. To others, who have a differ- ent interest in such things, it is known that to Mr. Williams' judgment was left the granting of the saloon licenses in the villages of Stonington, Mystic and Pawecatuck. And it is generally conceded that the arrangement and location could not have been bettered. And the New London Telegraph says: “Mr. ‘Williams has served New London county well and faithfully for many years, and that it will be many a long day before the office will be filled with greater ability,” concluding with, “Mr. Williams has been one of the best commissioners this county has ever had.” Commissioner Williams made warm political friends here in Norwich; and was esteemed for his fairness and courtesy in the transaction of the bus- iness of the county. THE TUBE WORKED WELL.

All the while, by a clever telephone contri- vance, communication was maintained between the rescuers and the impris- oned men. The provision for escape through a torpedo tube when such a craft is submerged worked admirably. The twenty-seven men of the crew bobbed to the surface and were picked up.

It was put out of its misery as quietly as anybody could do it, and then I carried the remains down to the alley, and that incident was closed. It was after I went back to the house that I began -breaking the furniture, and the surprising thing is that I never did it before. I had planned for a long time to smash that furniture, but somehow I never got to §t. First one thing and then an- other interfered, but when I did start at it T made a good job. I defy any man to go to my house and pick up a piece of the wreckage and tell whether it belonged to a rocking chair or a center table.” “You seem to glory in your exploit,” remarked the judge. foozled resolutions of the first of Jan- uary can be brushed up The naughty west says that there is no danger of any one’s being drown- ed in the deep waterways that will be built by this administration. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Ancther Place for Its Activities. Mr. Editor: The good sense—shall we say, good taste—of a board of water commisioners which proposes to compel a long suffering public to drink de- odorized faeces rather than to remove the sources of contamination, because, forsocth, the former course is “cheap- er;’ compels our mingled wonder and disgust. A body which is chained te the char- iot wheels of a determination to have a million dollar plant or nothing, balks at_the expenditure of a few hundred dollare for the comstruction of a half dozen water-tight cement vaults and cesspools! The proposition to “treat” the wa- ter of a trout brook which, if experts are to be believed, can be made en- tirly pure at slight ei'pense, resolves itself to this—render water, hypothet- ically and only under extreme circum- stances harmful, absolutely and at once noisome and undrinkable by the injection of chemicals. * If pot fit to be drunk in either case, why monkey with it? The judicious use of a car load of Portland cement with sand and gravel to be found in situ will doubtless remove any dan- gerous contamination and leave the water pure and potable, for the time of its probable temporary use. If ab- solutely necessary to employ that chemical laboratory, with its attend- ant corps of professors and assistants, the writer hnumbly submits that i activities might profitably be exerciged | upon the board, the mental processes of which obviously require heroic “treatment.” SANITAS. Norwich. Jan. 19, 1911. The Cultivation in America of the India Mango. Mr, Editor: The delicious India mango is a fruit almost unknown in | this country. Although the mango lands and the Central American states | its fruit is, for the most part, very| poor and unfit for the market. New | and superior varieties are now being introduceds The United States de- partment of agriculture is leading in | this effort and rencering assistance in every possible way. Large sums of money have been thus expended already. More than twenty of the best-known varieties in India and Ceylon have been brought to America, and are being cultivated through the | kind of grafting known as inarching. Respecting this effort of introduction, the Hon. David Fairchild, who is in charge- of foreign explorations, United States department of - agriculture, say! ‘Of all the new frults which are winning for themselves places on our tables, the most promising is the inrush of water when salving was all but completed, should have oaused the death of the three officers, demon- strates how dangerous a seemingly trivial injury may become. EDITORIAL NOTES. Admiral Sims' experience shows that it is worth a good deal to know when enough has been said It is acknowliedged that the election of United States senators by popular vote has come to be more than a vain hope There must be somie consolation to President Corey to think that his suc- cessor does not get but half the salary he did. The fact that Carrie Nation has been brought low by the burden of years makes many a saloon keeper rest easier. The five-year-old cold-storage stuff in the Chicago houses is booked to be sold at a loss. It is too venerable to "hold up. If you can say, says the Portland Express, “Round and round the rug- ged rug the ruddy rustic romped,” you are all right. There is one thing about Tammany. no matter what happens or how sud. den the changes, it always “knows its master’s voice.” Happy thought for today: Aviation has given money a new record as a fiyer. The birdmen have to go far and high to get the purse. Al o IR About thé only place where a man is safe to dodge in and out among automobiles without getting hurt is at an automobile show. The Boston Transcript says: Hope Governor ‘Baldwin won’t mind if we call his decision not to sue the Colonel just a bit “reactionary.” Now that the Gireek New Year is at_hand, it is pointed out that the tropical mango. This might be called the peach of the torrid zome, and there are as many varieties of mangos as there are of peaches. They seem to combine the rich flavors of the ap- ricots and the pineapples. The profit- able cultivation of this fruit is at- tracting the attention of the Florida | and Porto Rico fruit growers, and | the time ‘is not far distant when the hotels of our big cities will be reg- in | wife.

Nearly if not all of -these finest kinds of the mango are now seen growing in the vultivated mango growes of Porto Ri- co, These trees as they thus stand are beautiful beyond description. The new shoots are of many delicate tints, pale red, orange, lemon-colored, etc. In a few days they become bright green and so remain. Mangos range in size from a small peach to the largest grape fruit. A few days since one was presented to the governor. of Porto Rico which weighed more than two pounds. Some of them arve of a dull green colog bul others are of delicate hues, as beauti- ful as the finest peaches. It is said that there is but one frult in the world more delicously flavored than the mango, and that is the manmgo- steen, which does not flourish outside of India. JOHN O. BARROWS. NEW BOOKS.

E To be sure it has imitators. All good things have. Some substitutes can be bought for half the price; admitting this fact and admitting also that they may have some virtue, even these con- ditions, they are more expensive in the end than the genuine. With Cabot's Sulpho-Napthel it is necessary to use only one-tenth the guan- tity that :l'llnllflchln;l ‘t*h substitutes recommend necessacy for their products in order to obtain results. & Therefore when you buy the original vou are getting the genuine and besides that it only costs one-ffth as much in the end as doubtful imitations.
